Despite the crowd, Shizue's eyes saw only her.
Although decades had passed since they last met, Shizue instantly recognized her, Hero Chronoa, the one who took her away from the Demon Lord's castle and gave her new life.
Shizue had always considered herself the Hero's attendant, and the Hero never objected, so she accepted that role.
The Hero even gave her precious anti-magic mask to Shizue, which was clear proof that the Hero acknowledged her.
It was the first and best gift she received after coming to this World.
To be worthy of being the Hero's attendant, Shizue trained desperately, and finally, she gradually suppressed the soul of the High Elf Ifrit, gaining complete control over her body.
But the Hero just left so casually, leaving nothing but an enigmatic message.
At that time, Shizue had only one thought: she had been abandoned again.
Just like Leon, he had summoned her from another World, but then treated her with disdain.
He casually threw a High Elf at her and then ignored her.
When he retreated, he left no word, abandoning her like a worn-out shoe.
It could be said that this feeling of inferiority—of not being valued, recognized, or needed—had plagued and troubled her for her entire life.
She had always been searching, hoping to find the Hero and Demon Lord Leon to protest to them.
But until the end of her life, she found neither of them.
What she didn't expect was that at this crucial moment, she met Rimuru, her person of destiny!
She miraculously gained a new life again!
Today, she once again saw the person she had been desperately searching for.
It sounded a bit ridiculous; these unexpected events, one after another, made Shizue's head a bit muddled.
At this moment, she suddenly felt as if everything else had become unimportant.
Shizue saw Hero Chronoa, and how could the Hero not have noticed her?
Shizue herself might not have known that the Hero's feelings for her were quite complex!
"Shizue, long time no see!"
After thinking for a moment, Hero Chronoa opened her arms in an embracing gesture.
Shizue naturally threw herself into the Hero's arms, just as she had decades ago when the Hero defeated her and took her away from the demon's lair.
Hmm!
Luminas stood aside, pouting with a chubby face, looking unhappy.
This instantly made everyone feel a bit stifled!
Especially the Holy Church members, who wanted to laugh but dared not, it was extremely amusing!
Rimuru smiled faintly.
The aloof Luminas was surprisingly cute when facing her enemy!
Chronoa glanced at Shizue, then gave Hinata's a hint, and said, "Let's all go in first; I will explain everything from beginning to end!"
Shizue naturally had no objection.
Hinata's felt a bit bewildered!
It was unexpected, but she inexplicably felt that Hero Chronoa seemed somewhat familiar.
"Little Hinata's, there's nothing to hesitate about; the truth is actually very interesting!"
Little Hinata's?
Hinata's mouth twitched; in front of so many people, she should at least be given some face!
However, since Luminas said so, the Hero must be trustworthy.
Half a day later.
After Hero Chronoa revealed the entire truth, all those qualified to know the truth were dumbfounded.
Shizue: "My Lord Hero, you... are you a grown-up Chloe?"
It was no wonder Shizue was so surprised, because Chloe was one of her five newest students.
It could be said that she was the one she worried about the most!
But what she never expected was that Chloe not only grew up but also traveled through time and became the Hero who rescued her from the Demon Lord's castle.
What in the World was this?
It was too absurd!
Sakaguchi Hinata was also dumbfounded, "The soul in this body is my future self?"
Hinata's was also a bit confused; she never expected that after her death, she would share a body with Chloe.
And she even became the strongest Hero Chronoa in history!
One must know that Chronoa had always been her most admired idol!
As for the others, their minds were even more chaotic at this moment.
However, some also had a sudden realization.
For example, Sarre of the Firmament.
"So that's it, so that's it, no wonder My Lord god doted on Hinata's so much!"
Recalling it now, everything made perfect sense.
It was no wonder that Hinata's, an outsider, gained core power in the Holy Empire of Ruberios in such a short time.
No wonder no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake Hinata's position.
Even an idiot could now see Luminas's special feelings for Chronoa!
As Hero Chronoa narrated, everyone slowly understood the nearly endless reincarnation journey of Chloe, Sakaguchi Hinata, and Chronoa, spanning 2000 years.
Even an outsider couldn't help but be moved.
"Yuuki?"
Shizue and Hinata's both lowered their heads simultaneously.
Yuuki was a very special existence for both of them.
To Shizue, Yuuki was her most successful student, someone she watched grow up, like her own child.
He was her pride!
For Hinata's, although there were significant ideological differences with Yuuki, they were classmates and grew up together after all.
"Gelda, Sarre, Grigori, and the Seven Luminaries Elders... Little Chronoa, you've really been taken care of by them!"
For Luminas, the Holy Church was just a toy to her.
No matter what they did, she didn't care!
But, but they shouldn't have harmed Chronoa!
It was fine when she didn't know the truth before, but now that she knew the culprits, there was absolutely no reason for her to forgive them.
In an instant, Gelda, Sarre, and Grigori all felt what true "Wrath of god" meant.
Pfft!
The two great saints, without any ability to resist, directly coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Mercy, mercy!"
"In this timeline, we haven't done anything at all!"
"Exactly, exactly. Everything Chronoa said is a fictional story to us. My Lord Luminas, how can you punish us for something that hasn't happened yet?"
Luminas: "What you all said, what does it have to do with me? I just need to know that you once harmed Little Chronoa, and that's enough!"
Crack!
Luminas casually squeezed, and the hearts of Gelda, Sarre, and Grigori were all crushed.
Chronoa was expressionless; after two thousand years of reincarnation, she had seen too much of these people's ugliness.
Hinata's was shocked, feeling an inexplicable heartache, unsure what to say.
In the Holy Church, god was supreme, but the three being executed for "great sins they might commit in the future" severely challenged her views on crime and morality.
However, the countless life-and-death situations she had experienced also made her keenly feel the sinfulness and shamelessness of these people.
"Valentine!"
Luminas called out.
Soon, a handsome man with brilliant golden hair and well-defined muscles walked out.
He wore a suit, exuded a charming aura, and looked very elegant, as if nobility ran in his bones.
Upon the appearance of this being, everyone present once again gasped in cold air.
Because Valentine was currently one of the "Ten Great Demon Lords," holding the title of "Blood Overlord."
No one expected him to obey My Lord Luminas.
It had to be said that the truth of this World always made people laugh and cry.
"Master, please command!"
Luminas: "Go and wipe out the Seven Luminaries Elders for me!"
"Yes!"
Valentine showed no unusual expression, nor did he ask Luminas why she wanted to eliminate the Seven Luminaries Elders. He directly stepped through a teleportation gate and disappeared again before everyone's eyes.
The people in the Holy Church were stunned. Just because of Chronoa's words, they were going to directly wipe out the Seven Luminaries Elders, who had a heritage of several hundred years?
One must know that the Seven Luminaries Elders and the otherworlders they summoned were one of the most dazzling calling cards of the Holy Empire of Ruberios.
Just as Luminas was frantically downsizing, the outside World had completely erupted.
Kagurazaka Yuuki and Demon Lord Clayman, who had secretly instigated the war between the Demon Country Federation and the Holy Empire of Ruberios, were completely bewildered.
What exactly was going on?
They were clearly about to fight to the death, and then they just shook hands and made peace?
Are you kidding me?
